BBQ's and such

I will probably be writing once a week or so, unless I feel I have something I absolutely need to get off my chest. Hopefully, I will get some pictures on here soon, too. Please hold.

So we're starting to go on plant tours, have guest speakers, and oh yes, have barbeques. I think I've been to five BBQ's in the last couple weeks. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I guess I used to think that once school started, I would develop better eating habits. After all, I would have much less income so going out to eat would be more of a rare occurence. Also, since the gym is free, I should have no excuse for getting out of shape. So naive. So fat and naive. So stupid, fat, and naive.

I'm probably not alone in thinking that, with such a major change going on in my life with starting grad school, it's a chance to change a lot of other things about my life. Compared to undergrad, this time around I would have such good study habits. I would be all about learning and getting all the knowledge I could. I would be so much more organized. I would exercise more. I would read......just for fun! Not so much. But I'm loving the program. The LFM program has a definite emphasis on leadership (hence the name), and it really encourages you to reflect on your leadership style and other professional habits. And while the mere fact that I'm in the LFM program doesn't make me a different person, I'm starting to get an impression of where I want to be from a personal standpoint two years from now. I'll keep you posted....

Go Cubs.
